With all due respect ל’וואסח, in recent years comes the understanding that field units throughout the journeys that the Warriors is not the most important factor, and long journeys can lead to injuries and fractures.

“In the past we’ve gone from long trips without equipment, travelled along the rough terrain, with heavy weights, for short distances,” says Colonel Age. “Where Meg takes his troops just 100 kilometers journey, we tell him to reduce the distance but add weights, taking them along the complex area. So a journey of thirty miles becomes equivalent to 70.

Also, until the current year for fighters to carry up to 40% of their body weight. “The Warrior’s personal equipment from the present 30%”, Colonel Gil, and explains that nowadays, with permission from Commodore, combatants carry up to 55% of their body weight on them during training or operational missions.

In order to avoid conflicting commands, fitness guide written this year for the first time in collaboration with medical professionals, legal consulting and quality control and safety in the arm. “If fighters don’t practice as they fight the practice will become irrelevant,” said Colonel Gil. “If you make a journey with West and kiss at the beach along 70 miles won’t earn anything because there is no parallel to this operational outline” shows.

In addition, stomach crunches in the gym training were in favor of power drills – returned to צה”ליים training for the first time since 2001. “We have seen the consequences Ethan ב’צוק ‘ torso was strengthened, and the fighters are generally much stronger,” argues Colonel Gil.

At the same time, the training unit also strengthened that actually come in contact with – and today almost every fighting unit is at least one combat instructor. “Previously created relatively newer biachidoth have mode directory Krav Maga as special or presented with other cruisers without a guide, but learned to do the prioritization,” says Colonel Gil.

While among the reserve entry exists the risk of neglecting the gym, fresh recruits has a problem. Many candidates for service, especially those designed to combat, service are recorded in 11th and 12th for groups.

The country currently does not have one body all the groups and give them clear guidelines regarding their activities, and many suffer injuries of effort due to intensive training or not. Combat fitness Department hope that in the coming year can receive professional authority on the subject, and the regulator for those groups – to ensure that the activities for the basic shape of a soldier in the IDF.

“There is no drctiva that approves what is IDF preparation Department. In recent months, began working with physicians ‘ me ‘ – changed their fitness programs from end to end, and today all physical fitness program is organized and approved by us, “Colonel age specification.
